Content moderation is primarily the responsibility of the platforms and websites we use. Social networks, marketplaces, and publishing sites invest in systems that prevent the spread of explicit or harmful content. Yet, despite these efforts, inappropriate images can still appear in search results, image galleries, or embedded ads.

Individual users and families can add an extra layer of protection — a way to take safety into their own hands when browsing online.

The Imagga Content Moderation Chrome Extension brings the power of Imagga’s award-winning visual AI directly into your browser. It helps you and your family browse safely by automatically detecting and masking explicit images before they ever reach your screen.

Whether you’re working, studying, or sharing a computer with children, the extension ensures that your online experience remains comfortable and secure.

How It Works

Once the Imagga Content Moderation Extension is active:

  1. It silently monitors every webpage you open.
  2. Before any image is displayed, it analyzes it in real time using our advanced adult-content detection model.
  3. If an image is flagged as explicit or inappropriate, it’s automatically blurred or masked.
  4. Safe images load normally, preserving your natural browsing experience.

The entire process happens locally on your device, ensuring that your browsing data and images never leave your computer. Your privacy remains fully protected while you benefit from continuous, AI-driven content filtering.

How to Install and Use the Extension

Since the extension is not yet published in the Chrome Web Store, you can install it manually in just a few steps:

  1. Download the Extension Package*
